Testimonies
Angie is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely invested in
her students’ success. In addition to the comprehensive eight-week course (SFCC),
we met privately on Zoom several times. During those sessions, she
helped me clarify and strengthen my nonprofit’s mission and vision while
identifying critical areas that needed more development.Her honest and direct feedback saved me countless hours of pursuing
grants I simply wasn’t ready to apply for. Instead of wasting time submitting
applications that would likely have been rejected due to missing
documentation, Angie showed me exactly what I needed to put in place
first. That guidance was invaluable and has given my organization a much
stronger foundation for future funding opportunities.I wholeheartedly recommend Angie Eng to anyone interested in learning
grant writing or preparing their nonprofit for successful grant funding. Her
expertise, honesty, and dedication make her an exceptional instructor and
mentor.– Director, Lynda Dresher of Allume Foundation
Angie is passionate about helping artists and creatives, best of all she’s someone I can count on for insightful feedback whatever I need to give a proposal that extra push that makes all the difference.
